Should the U.S. have began started the current war in Iraq

The military is not a democracy.
Explain to me how the US forces in Iraq are fighting for the people of America?? They aren't , they are serving the interests of global commerce.
Cannon fodder is cannon fodder.
Just like in Vietnam the enemy has home advantage , they have support across the country (nobody in Iraq really wants an american puppet) and they will continue to send home more troops in bodybags.
Think how many lives would be saved if America defended only it's own borders , this would also reduce the amount of illegal immigrants , add to this the monetary savings by not having to support overseas bases and operations.
Pre-emptive action is just another word for aggression , if we destroyed everything that could become a threat there would be nothing left in this world.
The arrogance of America in believing it has the (God given) right to impose it's ideas on everyone else is what is making this world an increasingly dangerous place , without US interference the Taliban would never have come to power , Saddam would never have lasted as long as he did and this shit wouldn't be happening now.
America should clean up it's own backyard before it tries to set itself up as a shining example of democracy .
